INTRODUCTION. 


The  desire  to  know  something  of  my  ancestors,  led  me,  in  1879, 
to  compile  "The  Descendants  of  Col.  David  Mack"  (there  being 
already  published  Root  and  "Ward  genealogies),  and  to  com- 
mence collecting  material  for  a  Smith  genealogy  ;\  and  I  have 
now  undertaken  to  preserve,  in  a  valuable  form,  a  record  of  the 
descendants  of  Matthew  Smith  from  1637  to  1890,  the  past  150 
years  .being  practically  complete.  Probably  no  work  of  this 
nature  was  ever  published  without  errors  of  some  kind,  and  I 
would  consider  it  a  favor  to  be  informed  of  any. 

The  labor  involved  in  this  volume  can  be  conceived  of  only  by 
those  who  have  undertaken  a  similar  work,  and  especially  is  the 
name  of  Smith  a  difficult  one.  In  the  old  records  the  name  is 
spelled  Smith,  Smithe,  Smeith  and  Smyth.  It  is  one  of  the  very 
oldest  surnames,  giving  precedence  to  none,  unless  it  be  King. 

There  is  no  doubt  that  the  ancestors  were  of*  English  origin, 
and  the  Matthew  which  I  have  designated  as  1st  came  to  Amer- 
ica from  England  in  1637,  and  in  direct  descent  there  appear 
nine  by  that  name  alone,  the  ninth  dying  unmarried. 

Matthew  4th  had  a  son,  Thomas,  who  had  sons,  Thomas,  Mat- 
thew and  Samuel,  and  in  that  line  it  is  possible  there  are  some  that 
bear  that  name. 

1  would  make  grateful  acknowledgment  to  all  who  have  con- 
tributed to  this  work,  and  would  especially  mention :  Parsons 
P.  Meacham,  Meridian,  N.  Y. ;  Alden  Smith,  East  Haddam, 
Conn. ;  Eev.  H.  W.  Eead,  El  Paso,  Texas  ;  Mrs.  Anna  M.  Dins- 
more,  Portland,  Mich.

1ST. 

Matthew  Smith,  a  cordwainer  (a  shoemaker),  came  from  Sand- 
wich, County  of  Kent,  England,  in  1637,  with  his  wife,  Jane 
and  four  children,  and  was  said  to  have  been  admitted  inhabitant

member  of  the  church  Oct.  22,  1639,  and  he  in  May,  1643. 
The  names  of  the  children  could  not  be  ascertained.  In  1658,

of  the  death  of  Matthew  and  Jane  does  not  appear.

Matthew  and  Thomas  settled  at  Mt.  Parnassus,  in  the  central 
part  of  East  Haddam,  Conn.,  about  1706,  each  receiving  a^deed 
of  a  tract  of  land  of  Rev.  Stephen  Hosmer,  bearing  date  Oct. 
14,  1708,  which  was  the  beginning  of  'the  "  Smith  Homestead." 
Thomas,  in  1708  or  1709,  enlisted  to  go  on  an  expedition  to 
Albany,  N.  Y.,  to  make  the  quota  of  Connecticut,  350  men, 
required  for  the  reduction  of  the  French.  Ninety  of  the  num- 
ber never  returned,  Thomas  being  one  of  them. 

Elizabeth  married  Thomas  Hungerford,  and  lived  on  a  farm 
by  the  Eight  Mile  river,  in  East  Haddam,  Conn.  Mary  was 
unmarried,  as  appears  by  the  following  agreement : 

corr. 

BE  IT  KNOWN  TO  ALL  TO  WHOM  IT  MAY  CONCERN  I — We,  Thomas 

Hungerford,  and  Elizabeth  Hungerford,  my  wife,  and  Mary 
Smith,  all  of  Haddam,  on  the  east  side  of  the  great  river,  in  ye 
County  of  Hartford  and  colony  of  Connecticut,  for  ourselves, 
our  heirs,  executors,  administrators  and  assigns,  do  hereby  mutu- 
ally agree  with  our  loving  brother,  Matthew  Smith,  of  the  town 
and  county  aforesaid,  concerning  ye  distribution  of  ye  estate  of 
our  brother,  Thomas  Smith,  late  of  said  Haddam,  deceased,  that 
is  to  say,  he,  the  said  Matthew  Smith,  is  to  pay  all  the  just  debts 
due  from  said  estate,  and  to  enjoy  the  lands  belonging  to  ye 
estate  of  ye  said  Thomas  Smith,  deceased,  as  his  own  inheritance, 
to  him,  the  said  Matthew  Smith,  his  heirs  and  assigns  forever  : 
the  remainder  of  the  estate  to  be  divided  after  the  following 

O 

method  :  Ye  said  Matthew  Smith  is  to  have  one  undivided  or 
half  part  of  the  movables  to  his  own  proper  use  and  behoof  for- 
ever :  ye  said  Thomas  and  Elizabeth  Hungerford  and  said  Mary 
Smith  are  to  have  the  other  half  of  ye  movable  estate  of  ye  said 
Thomas  Smith,  deceased,  equally  divided  between  them,  upon 
the  receipt  whereof  we,  the  said  Thomas  Hungerford,  Elizabeth 


my  wife,  and  Mary  Smith,  do  hereby  engage  fully  and  wholly  to 
acquit  and  discharge  ye  said  Matthew  Smith,  his  heirs  and  assigns 
forever ;  and,  whereas,  the  said  Thomas  Smith  was  out  in  the 
late  expedition  to  Albany,  the  said  Matthew  Smith  is  to  take 
care  to  get  his  wages,  and  it  is  to  be  divided  in  the  same  manner 
with  the  rest  of  ye  movables,  they  all  bearing  an  equal  share  in 
the  charges. 

In  witness  whereof,  we,  the  said  parties  above  named,  have 
hereunto  set  our  hands,  this  25th  day  of  November,  A.  D.  1709.

pied until  1778,  when  the  present  house  was  built  by  hia 
Bon,  Matthew  5th,  and  thus  this  homestead  has  been  in  the  fam- 
ily nearly  two  hundred  years,  and  the  present  house,  over  a  hun- 
dred years  old,  is  a  tall  and  stately  mansion,  overlooking  all  the 
dwellings  in  the  valley.  He  was  a  tanner,  and  received  a  license, 
of  which  the  following  is  a  copy  : 

"At  a  County  Court  at  Hartford,  March  ye  5th,  1705-6,  this 
court  grants  liberty  to  Matthew  Smith,  now  residing  at  Haddam, 
to  set  up  and  use  the  trade  of  tanning  of  leather,  the  court  being 
certified  of  his  skill  and  ability  to  manage  that  trade."

homestead,  removed  to  Smithfield,  Pa.,  and  is  said  to  have  given 
the  place  its  name,  and  his  descendants  now  live  there. 

Gamaliel  and  Daniel  settled  in  Colchester,  Conn.

Dec.  10,  1792. — My  dear  children  : 

I  have  this  day  made  my  last  will  and  testament.  I  have 
divided  to  you  my  estate,  which  it  has  pleased  God  to  give  me, 
in  such  proportions  as,  after  long  deliberation,  I  think  just  and 
right,  without  particular  favor  or  partiality  to  any  one  I  pray 
God  that  you  may  live  in  peace  and  that  a  divine  blessing  may 
attend  you  and  yours  to  the  latest  posterity ; — it  is  my  advice 
and  charge  to  you  to  avoid  all  contentions  in  regard  to  the  sev- 
eral divisions  and  proportions  I  have  assigned  you,  and  I  hope 
you  will  believe  that  I  have  acted  according  to  my  wisdom  and 
without  any  bias  or  prejudice  for  or  against  any  one. 

I  bid  you  farewell,  and  while  I  live  I  shall  continue  to  pray 
that  we  may  meet  together  in  a  better  world  and  be  heirs  of  the 
heavenly  inheritance.

Descendants  of  Elizabeth  Smith. 


Elizabeth,  dau.  of  Matthew  5th,  gr.  dau.  of  Matthew  4th,  b. 
Nov.  12,  1750,  in  E.  Haddam,  Conn.,  m.  Oliver  Ackley,  who 
was  b.  in  1750  and  d.  Sept.  17,  1827.  She  d.  April  4,  1815,  and 
both  were  buried  at  Rock  Landing,  E.  Haddam,  Conn.  He  kept 
a  hotel  and  was  a  blacksmith.  But  little  can  be  ascertained  of 
this  family,  probably  because  of  their  early  departure  to  Ohio. 

From  the  Middle  Haddam  church  records  we  learn  that  Oliver 
Ackley  was  son  of  Benjamin  Ackley,  and  that  he  was  baptized 
Dec.  2,  1750,  and  that  his  wife,  Elizabeth  Ackley,1  united  with 
the  church  there  Sept.  2,  1781,  and  also  that  three  of  their  chil- 
dren were  baptized  Dec.  2,  1781,  one  Sept.  9,  1787,  and  one 
Nov.  8,  1789.  It  is  known  that  they  had  six  children  : 

1.  Rebecca. 

2.  Polly. 

3.  Elizabeth. 

4.  Asa,    who   in.   (it  is  thought   a  person   named    Young), 
worked  with  his  father,  blacksmithing,  and  built  and  ironed  off 
an  ox  wagon,  with  hoop  bows  overhead,  with  which  to  emigrate 
to  Ohio.     He  had  children,  among  them  a  boy  who  was  a  ring- 
leader among  the  boys. 

5.  Sally. 

6.  Oliver,  who  m.  Feb.  6,  1808,  Susan  Strong.     Oliver  Ack- 
ley, Senior,  married,  after  the  death  of  his  wife,  Matilda  Cole, 
who  had  been  his  housekeeper. 

With  the  exception  of  the  record  of  the  descendants  of  the 
above  family,  the  genealogy  will  now  be  found  to  be  complete 
except  in  a  few  instances,  where  letters  have  been  repeatedly 
sent  and  the  parties  have  neglected  or  not  desired  to  answer.

Louisa  Harper,  who  was  b.  Jan.  1,  1815,  in  Harpersfield,  Ohio. 
His  father  died  when  he  was  nine  years  old,  and  when  he  was  ten 
his  mother  offered  him  the  present  of  a  nice  book,  if  he  would 
cultivate  a  piece  of  land  and  raise  potatoes,  and  do  it  well,  and 
as  a  result  of  his  labors  he  carried  into  the  cellar  thirty  bushels, 
and  received  "  Robin  Hood,"  with  which  he  was  then  very  much 
delighted.  Soon  after  he  went  to  Middlefield,  Mass.,  to  work 
for  his  uncle  Samuel  until  he  was  twenty-one,  going  to  school 
winters  and  receiving  a  good  education,  and  teaching  school 
some.  Soon  after  he  went  to  Ohio,  married  and  settled  in  Russell, 
then  moved  [to  Locke,  Michigan  (P.  O.  address  being  Williams- 
ton),  where  he  has  preached,  as  opportunity  offered,  and  is  a 
farmer.  They  have  no  children  but  an  adopted  son,  who  is  mar- 
ried and  lives  near  them,  to  care  for  them  in  their  declining 
years. 

4.  Thomas  Martin,  son  of  Anna,  gr.  son  of  Matthew  6th,  b. 
Aug.  29,  1818,  in  Washington,  Mass.,  m.  1st,  April  16,  1843, 
Permelia  Wheat,  who  was  b.  April  22,  1820,  in  Glastonbury, 
Conn.,  and  d.  Jan.  1,  1887,  in  Hartford,  Conn.,  having  been  for 
thirty  years  an  invalid  and  a  great  sufferer  much  of  the  time  for 
the  last  twenty  years. 

He  m.  2d,  Nov.  1,  1887,  Sophia  Smith  (dau.  of  John,  gr.  dau. 
of  Matthew  7th,  who  was  b.  April  21,  1847,  in  Middlefield, 
Mass.,  and  is  the  author  of  "  Mack  Genealogy  "  and  of  this  work, 
also).  At  the  age  of  seventeen  he  went  to  Hartford,  Conn. pav- 
ing previously  been  there  during  the  winter  of  1834-35,  attend- 
ing the  Grammar  school,  and  since  then  has  made  his  home 
there.  For  the  first  ten  years  he  was  in  the  employ  ol 
his  brother-in-law,  James  Noble,  who  was  a  manufacturer  of  and 
wholesale  and  retail  dealer  in,  ready-made  clothing. 

In  1848  he  began  business  on  his  own  account,  in  the  retail 
grocery  trade,  which,  under  his  tact  and  active  business  qualities, 
soon  grew  to  large  proportions,  so  that  in  1850  the  sales 
amounted  to  one  hundred  and  twenty  thousand  dollars.  After 
1850  he  added  to  the  business  a  candle  factory,  and  the  sales 
were  large,  and  not  only  embraced  the  New  England 
New  York  and  even  Michigan.  In  those  days  the  use 
candles  was  not  despised  even  in  the  best  families,  and  the  busi- 

'&/ 


52 

ness  was  large  and  the  profits  considerable.  (His  integrity  in 
business  was  never  tarnished,  thus  his  credit  was  never  ques- 
tioned.) He  continued  in  that  business  until  1857,  when  he 
dropped  it  and  took  up  the  buying  of  hides  and  fat,  curing  the 
hides  and  trying  the  fat.  This,  too,  soon  grew  to  large  propor- 
tions and  was  prosecuted  with  energy  until  the  close  of  the  "War 
of  the  Rebellion,  when,  finding  the  business  could  be  closed  up 
and  leave  him  with  a  fair  competence,  he  concluded  to  let 
others  do  the  business,  while  he  retired  and  looked  after  his 
investments,  the  principal  of  which  was  stock  in  the  Hartford 
Bridge  Co.,  until  1889,  when  the  bridge  became  free.  The  com- 
pany wound  up  its  affairs  early  in  1890.  In  1865  he  became 
director,  then  president,  and  since  1877  has  been  secretary  and 
treasurer.  In  the  "  Hartford  Times,"  dated  Nov.  20,  1889, 
is  found  the  following :  "  Mr.  Thomas  Martin  was  identified 
with  the  bridge  company  for  fifty-five  years.  In  1834  he  was 
employed  to  fill  and  light  the  lamps.  He  filled  the  lamps  in  the 
morning,  saturating  the  wicks  with  spirits  of  turpentine.  In  the 
early  evening  he  went  through  the  bridge  with  a  torch  and 
lighted  them ;  this,  seven  days  in  the  week,  for  which  he  received 
fifty  cents !  or  seven  cents,  one  mill  and  three-sevenths  of  a  mill 
per  day.  Think  of  that,  poor  young  man  of  1889.  He  worked 
his  way,  attending  the  old  Grammar  School  on  Linden  Place, 
and  earning  money  enough  to  support  himself  in  the  odd  hours 
of  the  school's  recesses,"  etc.  His  deeds  of  charity  are  many, 
but  given  in  a  quiet  way.

Descendants  of  Azariah  Smith. 


IY. 

Azariah,  son  of  Matthew  6th,  gr.  son  of  Matthew  5th,  b.  Dec. 
7,  1784,  in  Middlefield,  Mass.,  m.  Ang.  29,  1811,  Zilpah  Mack, 
who  was  b.  Feb.  3,  1788,  in  Middlefield,  Mass.,  and  d.  Mar.  14, 
1871,  in  Manlius,  N.  Y.  He  was  brought  up  on  his  father's 
farm,  where  he  lived  until  1807.  His  early  education  was 
acquired  in  the  common  schools,  supplemented  by  one  winter's 
attendance  at  the  academy  at  Westfield,  Mass. 

In  1807  he  went  to  Manlius,  N.  Y.,  where  he  engaged  in  mer- 
cantile business,  which,  with  cotton  manufacturing,  was  his 
employment  through  life.  He  was  widely  known  as  a  man  of 
remarkable  business  capacity,  generosity,  public  spirit  and  per- 
fect integrity,  and  was  often  selected  for  important  trusts. 

In  1824:  he  was  a  presidential  elector,  and  as  such  voted  for 
John  Quincy  Adams. 

In  1838,  1839  and  1840  he  was  a  member  of  Assembly  for 
Onondaga  'Co.,  N.  Y. 

That  he  was  an  active  supporter  of  the  cause  of  education  is 
shown  by  the  note.worthy  fact  that  at  the  time  of  his  decease  he 
was  R,  trustee  of  the  common  school  district  where  he  resided,  of 
Manlius  Academy,  of  Hamilton  College  and  of  Auburn  Theo- 
logical Seminary ;  being,  at  the  same  time,  trustee  of  one  insti- 
tution in  each  grade  of  the  educational  system  of  New  York. 

He  resided  at  Manlius  until  his  death,  which  occurred  Nov. 
12,  1846,  at  New  Haven,  Conn.,  where  he  had  gone  in  hopes  of 
benefiting  his  health.

CHILDREN :

4.  Azariah  Smith,  son  of  Azariah,  gr.  son  of  Matthew  6th, 
b.  Feb.  16,  1817,  in  Manlius,  N.  Y.,  m.  July  6,  1848,  Corinth 
S.  Elder,  who  was  b.  Jan.  24,  1820,  in  Cortlandville,  N.  Y.  He 
was  a  graduate  of  Yale  College,  Yale  Medical  Institute,  New 
Haven  Theological  Seminary,  and  attended  a  course  of  lectures 
at  the  law  school. 

He  was  ordained  Aug.  30,  1842,  at  Manlius,  N.  Y.,  as  an 
evangelist,  to  labor  in  foreign  fields ;  sailed  from  Boston  as  a 
missionary  of  the  A.  B.  C.  F.  M.,  for  Smyrna,  Nov.  10,  1842, 
expecting  to  join  Dr.  Grant  at  Mosul,  and  engage  with  him  and 
others  in  labors  for  the  Mt.  Nestorians.  Disturbances  in  the 
country  prevented  his  obtaining  a  passport,  and  the  accomplish- 
ment of  his  plans  was  delayed  until  1844.  He  reached  Mosul  but 
a  short  time  previous  to  Dr.  Grant's  death.  Finding  the  Nesto- 
rians greatly  diminished  and  scattered  by  the  war,  it  was  thought 
wise  to  disband  the  mission,  and  he  returned  to  the  sea-coast. 
(It  was  on  this  journey  that  Dr.  Smith  first  learned  that  there  were 
a  few  men  inquiring  after  the  Truth,  living  in  the  city  of  Aintab, 
Syria).  Having  reached  the  sea-coast,  he  soon  connected  him- 
self with  the  Armenian  Turkish  mission.  His  medical  skill 
called  him  from  place  to  place,  and  it  was  not  until  the  fall  of 
1845  that  he  became  a  resident  of  Erzeroom,  in  Asia  Minor,  and 
he  labored  till  July,  1847. 


59 

In  1846,  while  absent,  his  house  was  mobbed  by  the  Arme- 
nians, because  of  his  having  received  into  his  house  an  Armenian 
priest  who  was  inquiring  after  the  Truth  ;  but  God  overruled  it 
for  good. 

In  the  fall  of  1847  he  was  commissioned  to  labor  in  Aintab, 
Syria.  He  reached  the  city  in  December,  having  been  delayed 
by  an  attack  of  cholera  while  journeying.  He  found  the  light 
flickering  and  apparently  just  ready  to  go  out,  but  the  Lord  had  a 
great  and  glorious  work  in  store  for  him.  His  legal,  medical  and 
biblical  knowledge  were  brought  into  requisition,  and  from  early 
morn  till  late  at  night,  body,  soul  and  mind  were  found  "  diligent 
in  business,  fervent  inspirit,  serving  the  Lord,"  till  June  3,  1851, 
when,  after  a  short  but  painful  illness,  the  Lord  called  him  to 
enter  into  his  rest. 

His  wife,  Corinth  S.  (Elder)  Smith,  continued  for  two  more 
years  to  labor  with  the  women,  going  from  house  to  house,  when  a 
severe  sickness  compelled  her  return  to  this  country,  in  the 
hope  of  restoration  and  return.  She,  however,  did  not  so  far 
regain  strength  as  to  make  it  prudent  for  her  to  resume  her  mis- 
sionary work,  and  so  she  cheerfully  devoted  herself  to  a  life  of 
Christian  usefulness  and  service  in  this  country.  Her  home  was 
chiefly  with  her  brother-in-law  (Rev.  A.  K.  Strong,  D.  D.), 
where  she  lightened  the  domestic  cares  of  the  pastor's  wife  and 
actively  engaged  in  all  good  works  among  the  members  of  his 
congregation.  She  lived  mainly  for  others,  and  died  at  the  resi- 
dence of  Rev.  Addison  K.  Strong,  Sept.  8,  1888.  She  gently 
breathed  her  life  away  after  a  lingering  illness,  of  which  the  later 
symptoms  were  chiefly  debility  and  slowly  progressive  paralysis.

Conn.  She  was  a  teacher  in  a  female  seminary  at  Alton,  111., 
and  on  her  way  home  from  there  stopped  at  Manlius,  N.  Y.,  to 
visit  him  and  his  parents.  His  mother  had  invited  to  a.  family 
tea  quite  a  number  of  relatives,  and  then  the  marriage  took 
place,  much  to  the  surprise  of  all  present.  Wm.  Manlius  began 
attending  the  district  school  when  three  years  old,  and,  being 
favored  all  his  school  life  with  good  teachers  and  out  of  school 
hours  his  studies  receiving  considerable  attention  from  his 
parents,  he  grew  up  with  a  love  for  books  and  a  taste  for  read- 
ing. His  father  had  a  custom  of  giving  to  each  of  his  children 


62 

a  new  copy  of  the  Bible  on  the  completion  of  its  first  reading 
through  by  course,  and  he  received  his  before  he  was  seven  years 
old.  He  attended  two  or  three  select  schools,  studying  in  them 
Higher  English,  Latin  and  Greek,  and  in  his  tenth  year  was 
reading  Virgil,  but  was  not  thoroughly  drilled  in  these  studies 
until  he  attended  Manlius  Academy,  where  he  had  most  compe- 
tent and  thorough  instruction  in  the  grammar  of  these  languages 
under  the  teaching  of  two  Amherst  graduates,  W.  H.  Tyler  and 
C.  C.  Bayley.  His  academic  instruction  was  supplemented, 
especially  in  mathematics,  by  his  father's  oversight  and  direction. 
One  summer  in  particular,  he  arranged  for  him  to  study  his 
algebra  from  five  o'clock  in  the  morning  till  breakfast  time, 
at  six,  his  father  sitting  by,  reading,  but  ready  to  explain  any- 
thing hard  of  comprehension. 

He  was  a  pupil  in  Manlius  Academy  from  its  commencement, 
in  1835,  till  the  end  of  the  summer  term  of  1840,  and  the  fall  of 
that  year  entered  as  Freshman  at  Yale  College,  New  Haven, 
Conn.,  graduating  in  the  class  of  1844.  The  first  two  years  he 
roomed  with  his  brother  Azariah,  who  was  there  pursuing  his  theo- 
logical studies.  He  says  of  him:  "I  have  never  before  or 
since  known  a  person  whose  whole  life,  even  to  minute  details, 
was  so  thoroughly  pervaded  with  the  Christian  spirit  as  was  his, 
and  in  all  the  two  years  of  this  intimate  association  with  him  I 
never  knew  him  to  do  a  sinful  act.  A  portion  of  his  time  not 
occupied  with  theological  studies,  he  gave  to  furtherance  of  his 
medical  knowledge  by  attending  private  courses  of  lectures  given 
by  Dr.  William  Tully,  in  Materia  Medica,  Chemistry  and  the 
Theory  and  Practice  of  Medicine.  In  one  hour  of  social  inter- 
course he  frequently  gave  me  abstracts  of  these  lectures,  and 
thus  gave  my  mind  a  direction  toward  the  pursuit  of  medical 
studies." 

Tho  winter  of  1844  he  spent  in  the  office  of  Dr.  Alden  March, 
at  Albany,  and  attended  lectures  at  the  Medical  College  there. 
In  the  summer  of  1845,  he  took  private  instructions  in  medicine  of 
Dr.  William  Tully,  and  in  the  winter  attended  the  Medical  Col- 
lege at  Albany,  and  in  the  summer  of  1846  returned  to  New 
Haven  to  be  with  Dr.  Tully  ;  also  in  1847.  In  October,  1848, 
he  began  attendance  on  a  full  course  of  medical  lectures  at  the 


63 

University  of  Pennsylvania,  in  Philadelphia,  and  received  from 
that  institution  the  degree  of  M.  D.,  March,  1849.  In  June  he 
opened  an  office  in  Syracuse,  N.  Y.,  and  lived  there  till  the  fall 
of  1851,  when  it  seemed  desirable  that  he  should  return  to  Man- 
lius  to  live  with  and  care  for  his  mother,  and  there  he  engaged 
in  the  practice  of  medicine  till  the  fall  of  1872  (with  an  inter- 
mission of  1857  and  1858),  when  he  received  an  appointment  to 
lecture  on  pharmacy,  during  the  winter,  in  the  New  York  Col- 
lege of  Pharmacy. 

In  October,  1873,  he  established  himself  in  chemical  business 
in  Syracuse,  N.  Y.  From  May,  1874,  till  December,  1875,  was 
physician  at  the  State  prison  at  Sing  Sing,  N.  Y.,  when  he 
resigned  and  returned  to  his  business  at  Syracuse.  In  1877  he 
was  made  Professor  of  Materia  Medica  in  the  Syracuse  University, 
and  in  1878  exchanged  places  with  the  Professor  of  Chemistry, 
which  position  he  still  holds  as  well  as  Professor  of  Botany. 

From  the  fact  that  he  is  a  renowned  chemist  he  has  many 
times  been  consulted  in  cases  of  death  from  supposed  poisoning, 
and  made  several  examinations,  in  which  he  has  been  happily 
instrumental  in  demonstrating  the  innocence  of  the  suspected 
party,  and  in  a  few  cases  where  poison  was  found,  for  some 
reason  the  parties  were  not  brought  to  trial. 

He  was  in  Utica  a  year  and  a  half,  acting  as  chemist  in  refin- 
ing gold  for  a  manufacturer  of  what  was  then  known  as  sponge 
gold. 

In  Manlius  he  held  the  office  of  village  trustee,  and  also  of 
the  schools,  and  of  Manlius  Academy,  and  was  largely  influen- 
tial in  having  an  academic  department  in  the  Union  school  at  Man- 
lius, and  of  turning  over  to  its  uses  the  property  of  the  defunct 
academy.  He  was  secretary  of  the  Medical  Society  of  Onondaga 
county  for  several  years  and  of  the  Medical  Society  of  the  State 
of  New  York  from  1877  to  1889  ;  also  secretary  of  the  Manlius 
and  Pompey  Agricultural  Association  for  upwards  of  twenty 
years. 

He  united  with  the  College  church  in  New  Haven  in  1841, 
and  transferred  his  connection  from  that  to  the  First  Pres- 
byterian church  in  Syracuse  in  1849.  When  he  returned  to 
Manlius  he  became  connected  with  its  Presbyterian  church  and 


64 

served  many  years  as  one  of  its  trustees  and  its  clerk  and  treas- 
urer. A  part  of  the  time  he  was  S.  S.  superintendent,  and  a  few 
years  before  his  last  removal  to  Syracuse  (in  1881),  he  was  one 
of  its  elders. 

He  has  for  years  suffered  from  malarial  troubles,  and  his 
achievements  have  been  less  than  they  might  otherwise  have 
been.  They  have  a  large  family  and  reside  on  Holland  street, 
Syracuse,  N.  Y.

riah,  b.  Nov.  4,  1854,  in  Manlius,  N.  Y.,  attended  the  schools  in 
Manlius,  with  her  sister,  and  at  the  age  of  eighteen  took  charge 
of  the  telegraph  office  at  Palmyra,  N.  Y.,  and  has  been  in  the 
employ  of  the  N.  Y.  C.  R.  R.  Co.  ever  since.  In  1873  and 
1874  she  was  operator  at  Palmyra,  "Waterloo  and  Suspension 
Bridge,  and  in  February,  1875,  was  sent  to  Holly,  N".  Y.,  and  in 
June  was  put  in  charge  of  ticket  office  there.  She  remained  at 
Holly  until  April,  1880,  when  she  was  transferred  to  Albion  to 
assume  a  similar  position.  The  Holly  Standard  has  the  follow- 
ing complimentary  notice:  "Miss  Hattie  Smith,  who  has  for 
some  years  been  the  ticket  agent  and  operator  at  the  Holly 
depot,  went  to  Albion  on  Tuesday  to  assume  a  similar  position 
there,  but  at  quite  an  advance  in  wages.  We  have  heard  and 
witnessed,  within  the  last  thirty-six  hours,  a  great  deal  of  sor- 
row and  mourning  over  this  change.  Miss  Smith  has  greatly 
endeared  herself  to  the  people  of  Holly,  both  in  a  business  and 
social  way.  Everybody  of  course  is  glad  to  learn  of  her  promo- 
tion and  advance  in  a  pecuniary  sense,  and  their  best  wishes  for 
her  future  success  and  happiness  surely  go  with  her." 

She  served  in  Albion,  N.  Y.,  until  February,  1884,  when  she 
was  transferred  to  Lockport,  N.  Y.  The  Albion  Chronicle  of 
Feb.  23,  1884,  contained  the  following  :  "  Miss  Hattie  Smith, 
who  has  been  the  Central-Hudson  ticket  agent  at  this  station  for 
four  years  past,  has  been  transferred  to  Lockport  to  take  charge 
of  the  ticket  office  in  that  city.  Miss  Smith,  during  her  stay 
among  us,  has  won  a  host  of  friends  by  her  ladylike  deportment 
and  accommodating  and  courteous  demeanor  toward  everyone. 
She  left  for  her  new  field  of  labor  Wednesday  afternoon.  The 
change  was  made  on  short  notice,  but  a  few  of  her  friends  near 
the  depot  clubbed  together  and  procured  a  copy  of  Webster's 
Unabridged  Dictionary,  which,  together  with  a  standard,  was 
forwarded  to  her  the  same  evening."  She  remained  at  Lock- 
port  until  December,  1886,  when,  at  her  own  request,  she  was 
allowed  to  give  up  the  tickets  entirely,  and  was  moved  to  the  tele- 
graph office  in  Syracuse,  where  she  still  remains.

Copy  of  resolutions  passed  by  Good  Will  S,  S,: 
"  To  Dr.   Wm.  Manlius  Smith  and  Family  : — 

At  the  regular  session  of  the  Good  Will  Sunday  School,  Feb. 
27,  1887,  the  following  preamble  and  resolutions  were  adopted  : 

WHEREAS,  Our  Father  having  prepared  a  mansion  and  called 
to  his  heavenly  home  our  brother,  Dea.  Azariah  Smith,  the  mem- 
bers of  Good  Will  Sunday  School  desire  to  make  some  expres- 
sion of  our  love  for  him  and  our  sorrow  for  all  who  held  him 
dear;  therefore,  Resolved,  that,  although  we  know  that  our 
words  are  of  no  avail,  we  extend  our  sympathy  to  his  family  and 
pray  that  God  may  prove  himself  indeed  a  God  of  comfort  and 
strength.  R-',s-->loed,  that  while  we  realize  our  great  loss  as  a 
Sunday  school,  we  know  that  our  brother  has  received  infinite 
gain.  He  who  lived  among  us  such  a  beautiful  life  of  prayer 
and  trust  is  truly  at  home  amid  the  glories  of  his  Father's  house, 
and  there  remains  for  us  the  memory  and  influence  of  his  sweet 
example  and  the  inspiration  of  the  thought  that  his  prayers  and 
service  are  not  interrupted  but  perfected.  Resolved^  That  this 
testimonial  be  entered  upon  the  school  records  and  a  copy  sent 
to  the  family  of  our  friend." 


VI.  Aulus  Smith,  son  of  Wm.  Manlius,  gr.  son  of  Azariah, 
b.  July  18,  1858,  in  Manlius,  !N.  Y.,  graduated  at  the  Union 
school  in  1879,  being  chosen  historian  of  his  class.  He  became 
intensely  interested  in  the  art  of  printing,  and  soon  after  his 
graduation  obtained  a  situation  in  the  job  office  of  the  Syracuse 


67 

Daily  Journal,  and  is  now  in  the  Eagle  Printing  House.  He 
has  studied  phonography,  and  at  one  time  purchased  a  type 
writer  and  did  type-writing  for  the  lawyers  and  business  men  of 
the  city.  He  is  passionately  fond  of  music. 


VII.  Walter  Storm  Smith,  son  of  Win.  Manlius,  gr.  son  of 
Azariah,  b.  Feb.  7,  1860,  in  Manlius,  N.  Y.,  and  d.  Dec.  11, 
1888.  He  was  an  expert  chemist,  pursued  his  studies  under 
Prof.  Goessman,  at  Amherst  Agricultural  College,  Mass.,  in 
1882  and  '83,  then  returned  to  Syracuse  and  engaged  in  analyti- 
cal chemical  work  in  connection  with  Prof.  F.  E.  Engelhardt  till 
March,  1886,  when  Dr.  E.  became  superintendent  of  salt  works 
at  Pifford,  N.  Y.,  and  he  carried  on  the  work  alone.  About  this 
time  he  was  appointed  Milk  Inspector  for  the  Health  Board  of 
the  city  of  Syracuse,  and  continued  in  their  employ  till  his  death, 
after  an  illness  of  only  a  fortnight.  He  was  unmarried  and  had 
always  resided  at  home.  He  was  an  active  member  and  sup- 
porter of  the  Good  Will  Congregational  church  of  Syracuse,  N. 
Y.,  and  was  librarian  of  the  S.  S.  for  years. 

Copy  of  words  of  sympathy  sent  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Wm.  M. 
Smith : 

"  Our  Heavenly  Father,  in  his  wisdom  and  love,  has  called  our 
brother,  Walter  S.  Smith,  home,  as  Jesus  said,  to  be  with  Him 
where  He  is. 

"  We  desire  by  this  to  express  our  sympathy  with  those  who 
miss  him  from  their  household,  and  to  tell  of  our  love  for  him. 
He  was  among  us  full  of  love,  cheerfulness  and  kindness,  a  fol- 
lower of  Jesus  Christ.  We  remember  him  as  ready  for  the 
Lord's  work  as  it  came  before  him  and  willing  and  earnest  in 
doing  it.  He  was  one  of  those  of  whom  we  can  say,  '  He  was 
faithful  unto  the  end.'  His  work  and  influence  shall  remain 
with  us  and  his  memory  is  precious  to  us  all. 

THE  GOOD  WILL  SUNDAY  SCHOOL. 
C.  W.  CABLE,  Sec'y."

lius  Smith  and  family  : 

"  WHEREAS,  It  has  pleased  our  Father  in  Heaven  to  call  home 
our  dear  brother  and  friend,  Walter  S.  Smith,  Resolved,  That 
it  is  but  just  to  the  memory  of  our  departed  friend  to  say  that 
we  shall  miss  him  from  our  society  because  of  his  beautiful  life 
and  Christian  example  and  faithful  work.  Resolved,  That  the 
Y.  P.  S.  C.  E.  of  Good  Will  church  sincerely  sympathize  with  the 
parents,  brothers  and  sisters  of  the  deceased  in  their  afflictions.

VIII.  Newton  Smith,  son  of  Wm.  Manlius,  gr.  son  of  Aza- 
riah,  b.  Aug.  21,  1862,  in  Manlius,  N.  Y.,  attended  the  Union 
school  in  Manlius,  from  which  he  graduated  in  1879,  and 
that  fall  entered  the  High  school  at  Syracuse,  N.  Y.,  and  in  1881 
became  a  freshman  at  Syracuse  University.  In  1883  he  left  the 
university  for  the  position  of  a  bank  clerk  in  Binghamton,  N. 
Y.,  which  position  he  held  for  over  a  year,  when  he  left  for  a 
position  in  the  office  of  Joseph  P.  Noyes  &  Co.,  Binghamton,  N. 
Y.,  which  position  he  still  retains. 


IX,  Allen  Macy  Smith,  son  of  Wm.  Manlius,  gr.  son  of  Aza- 
riah,  b.  June  26, 1864,  in  Manlius,  N.  Y.,  graduated  from  Manlius 
Graded  school,  in  June,  1880.  In  July,  1880,  he  took  part  in  a 
competitive  examination  for  scholarships  to  Cornell  University, 
thaca,  N.  Y.,  and  obtained  a  scholarship,  but  it  was  finally 
decided  that  he  should  not  go  to  Cornell.  He  attended  the  High 
school  in  Syracuse  for  a  year  or  two  and  the  Syracuse  University 
for  about  two  years.  In  June,  1886,  he  graduated  from  Amherst 
College,  Amherst,  Mass.,  and  from  the  Syracuse  Medical  Col- 
lege, at  the  head  of  his  class,  in  June,  1889.  He  was  recom- 
mended to  Willard  Asylum,  Willard,  N.  Y.,  by  Dr.  Carson  of 
the  Syracuse  Idiot  Asylum  and  by  Dr.  Yan  Duyn  of  Syracuse,  N. 


69 

Y,,  in  whose  office  he  spent  considerable  time  during  his  course 
at  the  medical  college.  Soon  after  graduating  from  the  medical 
college  he  went  to  Willard  on  a  three  months  trial,  passed  a  most 
excellent  civil  service  medical  examination,  and  at  the  end  of 
three  months  was  regularly  appointed  assistant  physician  there, 
where  he  is  at  present. 


X.  Clara  Smith,  dan.  of  Wm.  Manlius,  gr,  dau.  of  Azariah,  b. 
Feb.  5,  1866,  in  Manlius,  N",  Y.,  graduated  from  the  Manlius 
Graded  school  of  Manliu?,  N.  Y.,  in  June,  1881,  and  from  the 
High  school  at  Syracuse,  N.  Y.,  in  January,  1884,  and  in  June, 

1887,  from  the  Syracuse  Medical  College,  at  the  head  of  her  class. 
She  went  immediately  to  New  York  City,  and  for  over  a  year 
had  charge  of  the  drug  room  at  the  dispensary  of  the  "  Woman's 
Infirmary    for   Women   and   Children,"   which   work   she   did 
in   a   very   satisfactory   manner ;  while  there   saw  considerable 
clinical  practice.     She  returned  to  Syracuse  in  the  summer  of 

1888,  and  for  six  months  was  in  Dr.  Didama's  office.     In  April, 

1889,  she  opened  an  office  of  her  own  in  Syracuse,  where  she 
now  is.     She  has  been,  so  far,  very  successful  and  seems  well 
fitted  for  the  profession  she  has  chosen. 


XI.  Louisa  Smith,  dau.  of  Wm.  Manlius,  gr.  dau.  of 
Azariah,  b.  July  18,  1868,  in  Manlius,  N.  Y.,  attended  school  in 
Manlius  for  some  time,  but  did  not  remain  and  graduate,  but 
entered  the  High  school  at  Syracuse,  N.  Y.,  from  which  she 
graduated  in  January,  1885.  She  then  took  a  course  in  the 
teachers'  training  class,  and  in  June,  1886,  began  teaching.  She 
taught  her  first  year  at  East  Syracuse,  and  at  the  close  of  that 
year  was  given  a  position  in  the  Montgomery  school  in  Syracuse, 
where  she  still  is.  She  has  always  had  charge  of  quite  young 
children  and  seems  peculiarly  and  especially  adapted  to  that 
branch  in  the  school,  judging  from  the  success  which  has  attended 
her  labors.  She  resides  with  her  parents.

XII.  Ludlow,  son  of  Wm.  Manlius,  gr.  son  of  Azariah,  b. 
Aug.  7,  1870,  in  Manlius,  N.  Y,,  attended  the  schools  in  Man- 
lius, and  entered  the  High  school  in  Syracuse  and  is  a  member

Helen  Maria  Smith,  dau.  of  Matthew  8th,  gr.  dau.  of  Matthew 
7th,  b.  Dec.  9,  1843,  in  Middlefield,  Mass.,  m.  Jan.  26,  1871, 
Francis  Emroy  Warren,  who  was  b.  June  20,  1844,  in  Hinsdale, 
Mass.,  and  resided  there  and  in  adjoining  towns  until  1868.  His 
younger  days  were  spent  on  a  farm  and  in  the  school  room  until 
the  outbreak  of  the  civil  war,  when  he  enlisted  in  Company  C, 
Forty-ninth  Regiment  Mass.  Yolunteers.  The  self-possession, 
culture  and  bravery  which  have  since  characterized  his  success  in 
business  life  secured  his  promotion  to  the  position  of  captain  in 
the  Massachusetts  militia,  to  which  he  was  appointed  by  Gov. 
John  A.  Andrew.  When  but  twenty-three  years  of  age  he  went 
to  Des  Moines,  Iowa,  and  in  June,  1868,  to  Cheyenne,  Wyoming. 
He  took  a  position  as  clerk  in  the  business  of  which  he  has  since 


77 

acquired  the  ownership.  In  public  life  he  has  held  many  prom- 
inent offices  in  the  territory,  and  has  had  the  best  of  opportuni- 
ties of  familiarizing  himself  with  the  territory's  affairs  and  needs. 
He  has  been  territorial  treasurer,  presiding  officer  of  the  higher 
branch  of  the  Legislature  and  twice  a  member  and  chairman  of 
the  Republican  central  committee.  He  has  been  a  member  of 
the  city  council  and  was  mayor  of  Cheyenne,  when,  on  Feb.  25, 
1885,  President  Arthur  appointed  him  governor,  which  position 
he  occupied  twenty-one  months.  His  record  in  the  executive's 
chair  is  one  to  which  any  man  might  point  with  pride.  His 
opposition  to  the  Sparks  land  policy,  which  has  since  been  exe- 
crated by  every  intelligent  man  of  both  parties,  resulted  in  his 
removal.  His  prompt  action  in  suppressing  the  Chinese  riots  in 
the  Rock  Springs  coal  mines  stamped  him  as  a  man  of  courage 
and  executive  ability.  March  26, 1889,  President  Harrison  reap- 
pointed  him  governor,  and  there  was  great  rejoicing  in  the  terri- 
tory, not  confined  to  any  political  party.  He  is  the  most  popu- 
lar man  in  Wyoming,  among  Democrats  and  Republicans  alike. 
To-day  he  owns  cattle  and  sheep  ranches,  the  gas  works  and 
electric  light  works  and  several  business  blocks.  He  is  president 
of  the  Cheyenne  board  of  trade  and  of  the  F.  E.  Warren  Mer- 
cantile Co.  Since  Wyoming  became  a  State  he  has  been 

re-elected  governor  and  on    Nov.  18,  1890,  wa&  elected  U  S 
senator.

Henry  Ellsworth  Stanton,  who  was  b.  Jan.  23,  1846,  in  Hunt- 
ington,  Mass.  He  was  a  volunteer  in  the  late  war,  and  after  his 
return  worked  at  his  trade,  which  was  that  of  carriage  maker, 
one  year,  then  engaged  in  the  grain  and  lumber  business, 
and  at  present  is  carrying  on  the  latter  at  Huntington,  Mass.  He 
has  been  unfortunate,  as  the  dams  built  were  not  enduring 
enough  to  resist  the  mighty  torrent  which  the  Westfield  river 


78 

becomes  during  the  of t-recurring  freshets  which  occur  during  the 
rainy  seasons  and  when  the  ice  breaks  up  in  the  spring  and  goes 
out  with  irresistible  force,  but  in  1875  he  built  a  dam  that  has 
withstood  the  pressure.  Not  only  does  he  saw  rough  lumber, 
but  almost  to  an  extreme  the  waste  slabs  are  utilized,  making 
lath,  bed  slats,  whip  butts,  frost  blocks,  shingles,  cattle  stanchions, 
etc.  He  has  all  the  latest  improvements  in  machinery,  and  is 
carrying  on  a  large  business.

About  1880  he  went  to  Cheyenne,  Wyoming,  and  is  now  a 
member  of  the  firm,  "The  Warren  Mercantile  Co."  They 
have  no  children  except  an  adopted  son,  Parks,  a  nephew  of 
Mrs.  Smith. 

In  the  Cheyenne  Daily  Leader  of  June  3d  is  the  following : 
"  The  people  of  Cheyenne  were  startled  yesterday  by  the  report 
of  the  death  of  Mrs.  Chas.  M.  Smith.  Comparatively  few  peo- 
ple were  aware  of  her  illness  and  none  appreciated  its  danger- 
ous character.  During  their  residence  in  this  city  Mrs.  Smith 
had  made  for  herself  a  host  of  friends.  Charming  in  manner 
and  person,  well  read  and  sprightly  in  disposition,  a  superb  host- 
ess and  entertainer,  she  won  her  way  into  the  affections  of  all 
her  acquaintances.  Her  disposition  was  at  all  times  affable  and 


79 

unaffected.  There  was  a  charm  in  her  manner  and  a  warmth  in 
her  greeting  which  gave  outward  evidence  of  her  kindly  disposi- 
tion and  personification  to  the  poet's  lines  : 

'  None  knew  her  but  to  love  her, 
None  named  her  but  to  praise.' 

u  A  fitting  tribute  was  paid  to  her  by  the  literary  circle  of 
which  she  was  the  respected  president. 

"  At  a  called  meeting  of  the  Beta  Social  Literary  circle  of  this 
city  the  following  resolutions  were  adopted  : 

"  WHEREAS,  It  has  pleased  our  all-wise  and  loving  Father  to 
remove  Mrs.  Laura  P.  Smith,  beloved  president  of  the  Beta 
Social  Literary  circle,  to  the  circle  of  the  redeemed  and  crowned 
in  heaven, 

"  Resolved^  That  we  express  our  heartfelt  sympathy  to  the 
bereaved  husband  and  relatives  in  this  unexpected  and  deep 
affliction,  and  testify  to  the  virtues,  graces  and  accomplishments 
of  our  president.  Words  are  weak  to  convey  our  sense  of  per- 
sonal loss.  Mrs.  Smith  was,  by  her  simple,  charming  and  affable 
manners,  one  of  the  most  lovable  of  persons,  unaffected  and  sin- 
cere in  her  friendship. 

"  Resolved,  That  these  resolutions  be  transmitted  to  the  hus- 
band of  the  deceased  as  a  token  of  our  love  for  her,  and  that  the 
newspapers  of  the  city  be  each  supplied  with  a  copy. 

"  The  funeral  was  held  at  the  Baptist  church  on  her  30th 
birthday.  The  immediate  cause  of  her  death  was  probably  peri- 
tonitis. Although  she  had  not  been  in  robust  health  for  several 
years  she  was  not  an  invalid  by  any  means,  and  her  death  was 
as  peaceful  as  the  sinking  of  a  tired  child  to  rest."

third  child  of  Capt  Solomon  Root  and  Laura  (Mack)  Root.  In 
1890  she  resided  with  her  daughter  in  Hartford,  Conn.  John 


80 

spent  his  early  life  on  the  farm.  He  taught  school  in  Middle- 
field  and  Chester,  Mass.,  and  Huntington,  Long  Island.  In  Mid- 
dlefield,  Mass.,  he  was  town  clerk,  justice  of  the  peace  and  mem- 
ber of  the  school  committee.  "When  in  Becket,  Mass.,  in  the 
lumber  business,  he  was  justice  of  the  peace  and  two  years  was 
a  member  of  the  Legislature.  In  Boston,  Mass.,  he  was  sales- 
man in  the  clothing  store  of  L.  D.  Boise.  In  Fair  Haven,  Ver- 
mont, he  resided  fifteen  years,  for  ten  years  being  agent  for  the 
Scotch  Hill  Slate  Co.,  manufacturers  of  roofing  slate.  In  1881 
he  removed  to  Middlefield,  Mass.  "  He  was  a  faithful,  earnest 
Christian  and  for  many  years  an  active  member  of  the  Baptist 
church.  As  a  wise  counsellor  and  faithful  friend  he  was  one 
who  commanded  respect  from  all  who  knew  him."  He  d.  Sept.

Sophie  Adelphia  Smith,  dau.  of  John  M.,  granddau.  of  Sam- 
uel, b.  Jan.  20, 1861,  in  Lewistown,  Pa.,  m.  Jan.  30,1887  (in  San 
Francisco,  Cal.),  Rev,  Arthur  William  Burt  (a  graduate  of 
Oberlin),  who  was  b.  April  3,  1855,  in  Kent,  Ohio. 

As  soon  as  married  they  started  on  the  Selina,  with  six  other 
passengers,  for  flilo,  Hawaiian  Islands,  and  in  the  Hawaiian 
Gazette,  Feb.  22,  1887,  was  found  the  following  : 

"WKECK    OF   THE    SELINA." 

"  Friday,  Feb.  11,  twelve  days  from  San  Francisco,  with  a 
full  cargo  of  merchandise,  cows,  mules,  hogs  and  six  passengers. 
On  coming  into  the  harbor,  just  at  dark,  she  was  cast  upon  the 
rocks,  under  the  high  bluff,  one-half  mile  from  Waimaker  Sugar 
Mill,  and  became  a  total  wreck.  By  a  miracle,  almost,  the  pas- 
sengers and  all  on  board  were  saved,  but  they  had  to  be  drawn 
through  the  surf  and  helped  up  the  almost  perpendicular  bluff, 


99 

over  100  ft.  high,  to  terra  firma,  and  thence  conveyed  by  foot 
men  and  on  horseback  over  the  worst  possible  of  roads,  mud 
almost  waist  deep,  for  at  least  half  a  mile,  to  a  place  where  car- 
riages could  be  taken. 

"  The  anchors  were  both  cast  out  when  it  was  found  the  Selina 
was  drifting,  but  both  chains  parted  and  a  sudden  squall  threw  the 
brig  upon  the  rocks  a  ship's  length  from  the  strand,  with  the  break- 
ers dashing  furiously  over  the  ship  at  dark,  6:30  p.  M.  The  first 
idea  of  accident  to  the  Selina  that  any  one  at  Hilo  had  was  when 
the  whistle  blew  at  "Waimaker's,  but  it  was  so  dark  that  noth- 
ing could  be  seen,  save  the  running  to  and  fro  of  lights  on  the 
shore.  Soon  after  a  gun  was  fired  as  a  signal  of  distress,  fol- 
lowed by  a  second,  which  told  the  Hiloites  that  there  certainly 
was  trouble  and  help  was  needed.  For  some  days  the  surf  had 
been  very  high,  and  as  the  Selina  came  along  it  was  found  that 
her  passengers  could  not  land  at  the  wharf.  The  club  boat 
went  off  to  the  Selina  and  Mr.  Awai,  the  custom  house  officer, 
took  passage  in  it.  After  the  Selina  anchored  (it  being  about 
dark),  the  club  boat  left  and  pulled  for  the  shore,  which  was 
reached  (with  the  boat  full  of  water)  about  7  o'clock.  The  Hilo- 
ites had  sent  for  boats  to  Warkea,  and  issued  an  order  to  Judge 
Lyman  to  call  on  all  the  vessels  in  the  harbor  for  help.  An 
attempt  was  also  made  to  get  the  little  steamer,  Ivy  Holmes,  but 
she  was  out  of  repair.  All  Hilo  was  astir.  Soon  word  arrived 
that  Awai  had  jumped  overboard  and  swam  for  the  shore,  but 
the  task  was  more  than  he  supposed,  and  after  being  beaten  about 
by  the  waves,  he  was  dragged  ashore  more  dead  than  alive,  and 
was  brought  into  Hilo,  to  his  home.  For  two  hours  all  on  board 
were  being  wet  and  thrown  down  by  the  waves  that  constantly 
dashed  in  fury  over  the  vessel,  throwing  down  all  who  attempted 
to  stand.  In  time  ropes  were  rigged  from  the  shore  to  the  ship, 
and  the  passengers  and  crew,  one  by  one,  were  drawn  through 
the  breakers  to  the  shore,  where  they  were  cared  for  by  willing 
hands.  By  ten  o'clock  the  ship  was  entirely  deserted.  .During 
the  night  the  sea  went  down  considerably  and  an  attempt  was 
made  on  Saturday  to  save  the  freight  on  board.  The  passen- 
gers' baggage  was  all  recovered,  but  in  a  wretched  condition, 
everything  being  soaked  with  water,  and  a  great  portion  ruined. 
The  live  stock,  such  as  had  not  been  killed  by  falling  masts,  were 


100 

taken  through  the  breakers  to  boats  lying  some  distance  off  (no 
boats  dared  come  near  the  wreck),  and  thus  conveyed  to  Hilo. 
Before  all  were  off,  the  ship  was  found  to  be  on  fire,  the  slaking 
lime  having  caught  the  kerosene  in  the  hold.  The  hatches 
were  taken  off  and  the  flames  burst  forth  with  fury.  The 
hatches  were  replaced  to  smother  the  fire,  and  the  hogs  were 
thrown  overboard  to  make  their  own  way  through  the  breakers. 
By  Sunday  morning  a  hose  pipe  had  been  found  and  a  flume 
built  to  the  edge  of  the  bluff,  and  water  poured  into  the  ship  and 
the  fire  subdued.  Monday  morning  the  brig  was  sold  at  auc- 
tion for  $110.00.  Tuesday  the  Selina  was  again  found  to  be  on 
fire,  but  little  could  be  saved  from  the  wreck  except  in  a  very 
damaged  condition. 

"  Monday,  Awai,  the  C.  H.  officer,  was  around,  hunting  up  the 
shipwrecked  passengers  and  demanding  from  each  the  $2.00  hos- 
pital tax,  the  fee  required  to  enter  the  kingdom. 

"What  are  the  Hilo  police  good  for?  They  were  stationed, 
Friday  night,  to  watch  the  wreck  and  to  prevent  all  stealing,  but 
instead  of  doing  their  duty,  they  at  least  seemed  to  connive  at 
the  thieving.  Portuguese  and  natives  vied  with  each  other  as  to 
who  would  steal  the  most.  Passengers'  baggage  was  taken  as 
well  as  other  things;  cases  of  goods  were  opened  and  taken 
away ;  natives  were  found  wearing  the  apparel  of  the  passengers  ; 
hundreds  of  dollars  worth  of  property  was  taken,  and  yet  not  ail 
arrest." 

LIST  OP  PA88ENGEE8. 

Rev.  and  Mrs.  A.  W.  Burt,  Hilo,  Boarding  School. 
Mrs.  George  Paty  and  child,  Hilo. 
Mrs.  Harris,  Mrs.  Gillen,  Miss  Low,  San  Francisco. 
Mr.  McChesney,  Honolulu. 

Mrs.  Burt,  in  writing  to  her  friends,  spoke  of  their  trying  to 
get  ashore  in  boats,  aud  then  spoke  of  the  rope  fastened  to  the 
ship  and  a  huge  rock  on  the  shore,  and  the  passengers  would 
take  hold  of  this  rope  and  slide  their  hands  along  while  they 
were  pulled  along  by  a  smaller  rope  around  their  bodies,  drawn 
by  those  on  shore.  The  sea  being  rough,  the  ship  would  sway, 


101 

making  some  of  the  time  the  rope  slack,  so  they  were  a  part  of 
the  time  in  the  water  and  part  of  the  time  out.  As  they  were 
landed  under  a  precipice  150  feet  high,  they  had  to  be  drawn  up 
by  ropes  around  their  waists,  some  of  the  distance  perpendicular, 
and  a  part  of  the  way  they  could  help  themselves  a  little,  but 
were  terribly  bruised  and  scratched  on  the  rocks.  Mrs.  Burt  lost 
one  barrel  (that  was  burned)  of  books  and  bedding,  and  what 
was  saved,  was  in  a  damaged  condition,  many  of  her  valuables 
being  so  badly  water-soaked  as  to  be  entirely  worthless. 

Mr.  Burt's  father  being  killed  in  a  battle  in  the  War  of  the 
Rebellion,  he  was  obliged,  when  quite  young,  to  take  care  of 
himself,  working  on  farms  for  a  time,  then  learned  the  carpen- 
ter's trade.  At  the  age  of  twenty-three  began  a  course  of  study 
at  Oberlin^  and  graduated  in  1882,  and  then  took  a  theological 
course  and  graduated  in  1885,  then  was  pastor  at  Riverside  (a 
suburb  of  Cincinnati),  Ohio,  one  year.  His  health  failing  he 
resigned  and  decided  to  try  the  climate  of  the  Sandwich 
Islands,  where  he  went  in  May,  1886,  and  the  following  Sep- 
tember began  as  principal  of  the  Hilo  boarding  school.  Since 
he  has  been  there  he  has  added  an  industrial  school,  built  a  large 
shop,  with  water  power,  and  placed  in  it  considerable  machinery, 
BO  that  the  boys  are  learning  considerable  in  the  mechanic  arts.

learning  that  even  small  hands  could  find  something  to  do),  and 
the  winters  in  the  little  school  house  near  his  home.  Thanks  to 


102 

good  teachers  and  the  helpful  encouragement  of  his  parents,  he 
gained  so  fair  a  mastery  of  the  branches  taught  in  common 
schools  that  a  few  months  in  the  Academy  at  Manlius,  N.  Y., 
and  two  terms  at  Williston  Seminary,  Easthampton,  Mass.,  sup- 
plemented by  a  term  under  the  tuition  of  his  brother  Metcalf, 
enabled  him  to  enter  New  York  Central  College,  McGrawville, 
N.  Y.,  with  his  brother  Metcalf,  in  the  autumn  of  1851.  His 
father  chose  that  college  because  of  its  liberal  character,  which 
made  no  discrimination  against  sex  or  color.  Immediately  on 
graduating,  in  1855,  he  was  elected  Professor  of  Greek  and 
librarian  in  the  college,  and  continued  there  until  November, 
1857.  Then  he  taught  a  year  in  Kishacoquillas  Seminary,  in 
Mifflin  Co.,  Pennsylvania,  and  from  1859  to  1863  was  superin- 
tendent of  schools  for  that  county.  From  June,  1863,  to  June, 
1865,  he  was  cashier  in  the  United  States  military  telegraph  ser- 
vice at  Nashville,  Tenn.  In  September,  1865,  he  became  con- 
nected with  the  book-publishing  house  of  Ticknor  &  Fields,  Bos- 
ton, Mass.,  and  has  continued  with  their  successors,  Fields, 
Osgood  &  Co.,  James  R.  Osgood  &  Co.,  Houghton,  Osgood  & 
Co.,  and  Houghton,  Mifflin  &  Co.,  having  charge  of  the  publish- 
ing department.

7.  Sereno  Smith,  son  of  Azariah  Smith,  gr,  son  of  Jeremiah, 
b.  Sept.  13,  1823,  m.  Mar,  or  May  30,  1848,  Mary  Phelps,  who 
was  b.  Nov.  7,  1828,  in  Williamsfield,  Ohio,  and  d.  Oct.  25, 
1889,  in  Kingsville,  Ohio.  They  resided  in  Rome,  Ohio,  where 
he  was  murdered,  and  in  the  Ashtabula  Sentinel  was  the  fol- 
lowing account: 

"  Sereno  Smith  was  a  well-to-do  farmer,  forty-eight  years  of 
age,  unassuming  and  universally  respected  in  the  locality  in 
which  he  lived.  On  the  morning  of  April  25,  1872,  he  myste- 
riously disappeared  from  his.  home,  and  it  was  thought  by  his 
family  and  friends  that  he  had,  in  a  fit  of  mental  aberration, 
wandered  away  or  committed  suicide,  although  no  cause  could 
be  assigned  for  such  an  act.  With  this  impression,  woods  were 
searched,  streams  and  ponds  were  dragged  with  no  result. 

"  About  two  weeks  after  the  disappearance  of  Mr.  Smith,  Mr. 
J.  H.  Phelps,  brother  of  Mrs.  Smith,  came  to  Rome,  and,  while 
sleeping,  dreamed  that  his  brother-in-law  had  been  murdered 


129 

and  the  body  concealed  in  a  large  manure  heap  near  the  barn. 
Not  being  a  firm  believer  in  dreams  he  deemed  it  more  a  fallacy 
than  a  reality.  Still  being  so  strongly  impressed  and  the  search 
being  still  continued,  on  Sunday  morning,  May  12,  a  search 
was  made  at  the  place  indicated  in  the  dream,  when  the  body 
was  soon  found,  presenting  a  horrid  sight  and  revealing  a  most 
brutal  murder.  The  skull  was  beaten  in  as  by  an  ax.  Suspicion 
at  once  pointed  to  one  John  Housel,  a  young  man  who  had  been 
for  the  past  year  in  the  employ  of  Mr.  Smith,  and  the  chain  of 
circumstantial  evidence  is  so  strong  that  he  probably  will  pay 
the  penalty  of  the  crime.  As  there  was  no  conceivable  motive 
for  the  murder,  the  deed  was  as  mysterious  as  it  was  brutal." 

Since  the  above  was  written  Housel  has  made  a  full  confes- 
sion of  his  crime  and  is  now  serving  a  life  sentence  in  the  Ohio 
penitentiary. 

Sereno  lived  as  neighbor  to  his  brother  Nelson,  and  the  house 
has  been  unoccupied  since — for  seventeen  years  it  has  been 
vacant. 

They  had  no  children.

was  b.  July  17,  1819,  in  Connecticut. 

She  was  said  to  be  one  of  the  best  English  grammarians  in 
New  York  State  when  but  eighteen  years  of  age.  Her  talents, 
eays  a  friend,  were  of  an  unusually  high  order  and  her  attain- 
ments numerous  and  superior.  She  studied  and  taught  several 
languages,  vocal  and  instrumental  music,  and  when  she  had  the 
prospect  of  becoming  a  minister's  wife,  she  took  a  course  of 
studies  in  theology.  At  eighteen  years  of  age  she  was  secretary 
of  "  The  Female  Moral  Reform  Society."  Her  reports  were 
models  of  penmanship,  grammatical  accuracy,  charming  compo- 
sition, terse,  chaste,  yet  vigorous  and  elegant  documents. 

She  had  then  and  for  many  years  after  acquaintances  and  cor- 
respondents, such  as  Mrs.  Sarah  J.  Hale,  Mrs.  M.  G.  Clark, 
Grace  Greenwood,  Maria  Hall,  Mrs.  Fales,  Mrs.  Emily  B.  Jud- 
son  and  many  others. 

[Perhaps  it  will  be  well  here  to  give  a  little  personal  history 
of  H.  W.  Eead  before  giving  an  account  of  their  missionary 
life.] 

He  was  born  of  good  Revolutionary  (War)  Baptists,  in  Jew- 
ett  City,  Conn.  His  father  and  grandfather  were  both  born 
there,  both  Baptist  ministers  and  preached  about  forty  years 
each.  His  father  moved  to  Central  New  York  when  he  was  but 


173 

two  years  of  age.  At  BIX  years  of  age  he  signed  the  temperance 
pledge,  and  has  faithfully  kept  it  to  this  day,  and  has  never  used 
tobacco  in  any  form.  At  ten  years  of  age  he  was  converted  and 
at  once  began  holding  meetings  with  the  children  of  the  neigh- 
borhood. In  1838  he  attended  Rev.  Wright's  academy  in 
Oswego,  and  was  baptized  in  the  Oswego  river,  by  Rev.  "Wm. 
Hutchins.  In  1840  was  licensed  and  commenced  preaching.  In 
the  spring  of  1841  entered  Madison  University  at  Hamilton. 
N.  Y.,  and  was  at  once  appointed  bookkeeper  for  the  Education 
Society.  Had  a  large  S.  S.  four  miles  away,  preached  during 
term  time,  and  held  protracted  meetings  during  vacation. 

A  few  months  before  he  was  ready  to  graduate  in  his  classical, 
theological  and  medical  studies,  Alzina,  then  his  fiance'e,  was  sick 
almost  unto  death,  so  that  her  physician  and  a  large  council  of 
eminent  physicians,  after  a  most  careful  and  thorough  investiga- 
tion and  diagnosis  of  her  case,  reluctantly  but  unanimously 
decided  that  there  was  no  possibility  of  her  recovery  and  that  she 
could  not  live  more  than  twelve  weeks,  but  she  would  not  consent 
to  have  him  notified  before  the  close  of  the  term,  and  then  that 
she  was  seriously  ill.  She  was  at  Newark,  N.  Y.,  and  when  Mr. 
R.  arrived  preparations  for  her  funeral  were  being  made.  He 
at  once  told  her  and  the  family  that  he  would  take  full  charge 
of  the  case,  dismissed  the  attending  physician,  to  the  great  aston- 
ishment of  the  family  and  neighbors,  assured  her  that  she  was 
not  going  to  die,  that  she  would  live  and  labor  with  him. 

In  two  weeks  he  carried  her  in  his  arms  to  Meridian  and  left 
her  at  her  brother's,  and  she  began  to  improve.  He  returned 
to  the  University,  and  in  a  few  weeks  finished  his  studies,  and 
was  ordained  June  12,  1844,  in  Oswego,  K  Y.,  his  father  preach- 
ing the  sermon.  The  next  day  his  father  accompanied  him  to 
Meridian,  and  he  and  Alzina  were  married. 

In  one  month  they  took  passage  in  a  fine  new  brig  at  Oswego, 
for  a  tour  of  the  lakes,  for  Wisconsin,  arriving  at  Racine  in  just 
four  weeks.  Soon  after  he  accepted  the  unanimous  call  of  the 
Baptist  church  at  Whitewater,  and  were  comfortably  settled 
there,  remaining  there  three  years,  during  which  time  the  church 
prospered  and  a  house  of  worship  was  erected.  From  there  they 
went  to  Madison,  but  the  winters  being  too  severe  for  Mrs. 
Read,  they  decided  to  go  to  California,  and  in  April,  1849, 


174 

started  overland  for  San  Francisco.  His  library,  bedding,  cloth- 
ing and  six  months  provisions  were  sent  around  Cape  Horn.  At 
Galena,  Illinois,  they  took  steamer  for  St.  Louis,  Mo.  At  that 
time,  everywhere,  on  the  rivers,  in  the  cities,  the  cholera  pre- 
vailed fatally.  At  Fort  Leavenworth  they  were  detained  ten 
days,  and  were  the  guests  of  Gen.  E.  Y.  Sumner.  Two  days 
out  from  Leavenworth  Mrs.  R.  had  the  cholera !  They  were 
providentially  detained  ten  days,  and  during  the  time  stayed 
with  Rev.  Barker  and  family.  He  was  the  Baptist  missionary 
to  the  Fottawatomie  Indians.  Mrs.  R.  recovered  so  that  she  was 
able  safely  to  travel,  when  the  command  moved  forward. 

They  had  many  interesting  experiences  and  incidents  on  the 
journey  of  six  weeks  to  Santa  Fe",  New  Mexico.  One  was,  the 
head  chief  of  the  great  Comanche  Indians  fell  most  violently  in 
love  with  pretty  Mrs.  R.,  and  deliberately  proposed  to  Mr.  R. 
to  "  swap,"  and  offered  to  give  a  papoose  with  his  squaw,  and 
was  grievously  disappointed  because  he  would  not  " swap" 

Another  chief,  "  Little  Bear,"  of  the  Kiowas,  offered  to  give 
them  his  daughter  twelve  years  of  age,  whom  he  wanted  to  have 
educated  as  Mrs.  R.  was.  Neither  did  they  accept  this  offer. 

Arriving  at  Santa  F6  about  the  middle  of  July,  Mr.  R.  was 
importuned  by  the  military  governor  and  his  staff  and  all  the 
principal  Americans  to  locate  there,  and  accept  the  chaplaincy 
of  the  U.  S.  Army.  There  was  not  and  never  had  been  a  min- 
ister of  the  gospel  in  the  territory.  Finding  that  there  was  no 
wagon'road  beyond  Santa  FC* — all  who  were  going  through  were  to 
go  on  pack  mules — the  distance  being  about  1,600  miles,  through  a 
hostile  Indian  country — they  thought  they  must  return  East  and 
go  by  water,  as  their  goods  had  gone  that  way.  But  God  had  a 
work  for  them  to  do  in  New  Mexico,  and  at  once  completely 
shut  them  in  there,  Mrs.  R.  was  taken  sick  and  was  apparently 
on  the  verge  of  the  grave  six  weeks,  so  that  they  were  compelled 
to  stay  there.  Mr.  R.  accepted  the  chaplaincy,  and  at  once  went 
to  work  and  a  nice  chapel  was  fitted  up.  Thus  commenced  the 
first  missionary  efforts  in  that  territory.  He  being  the  only 
chaplain  of  the  U.  S.  Army  in  the  Ninth  Military  Department, 
which  had  twenty-one  posts,  it  was  his  duty  to  visit  all  the  gar- 
risons and  preach  to  the  troops.  Of  course  this  required  time, 
and  when  away  from  home  Mrs.  R.  attended  to  all  the  work  of 


175 

the  mission  at  headqnarterSj  and  also  conducted  the  school  num- 
bering seventy  pupils,  which  they  established,  it  being  the  first 
academy  in  New  Mexico.  When  practicable  the  longest  trips 
were  made  during  vacation,  and  took  him  to  all  parts  of  New 
Mexico.  In  that  way  he  became  acquainted  with  the  country, 
the  people  and  their  conditions,  temporal  and  spiritual — their 
destitution  of  almost  all  means  and  appliances  for  mental  and 
spiritual  improvement. 

In  1851,  at  the  earnest  solicitation  of  the  A.  B.  Home  Mis- 
sion society,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Eead  returned  to  the  East  to  obtain 
money  and  missionaries,  preaching  and  lecturing  in  all  the  prin- 
cipal cities,  and  returned  in  the  spring  of  1852  and  located  mis- 
sionaries in  different  places,  built  a  church  at  Santa  F6,  the  first 
Protestant  church  there.  In  1853  formed  a  church  at  Albu- 
querque. He  established  forty  preaching  stations  on  either  side 
of  the  Rio  Grande,  which  he  visited  regularly,  preaching  espe- 
cially to  the  Spanish  speaking  people  of  the  territory ;  and  Mrs. 
R.  conducted  the  academy  and  mission  in  his  absence.  On  one 
occasion  she  went  in  a  close  carriage  alone  to  Lazuna,  about  fifty 
miles,  and  in  crossing  a  pond  in  the  darkness  the  carriage  body 
floated  from  the  running  gear  and  turned  completely  over ! 
Mr.  Logan  (the  Bible-reading  colporteur),  came  to  help  her  out 
when  her  head  was  up  against  the  bottom  of  the  carriage,  now 
bottom  side  up,  and  the  water  up  to  her  chin !  Of  course  she 
had  to  get  down  into  the  water  all  over  to  get  out  at  the  door ! 
All  this  she  did  heroically  and  never  lost  her  self-possession  for 
a  moment.  Another  time  she  was  going  with  Mr.  R.,  in  their 
buggy,  drawn  by  a  large,  superior  mule.  They  started  at  sun- 
rise, forded  safely  the  Rio  Grande,  though  not  without  perils, 
and,  on  reaching  the  Rio  Pinco,  at  2:30  r.  M.,  they  found  the 
water  seven  feet  deep  in  the  channel,  and  therefore  could  not 
cross.  They  must  stay  there,  although  it  was  on  the  war  path 
of  hostile  Indians ! 

Thus  reads  an  extract  from  a  letter  from  Mr.  Read  : 
"  I  unharnessed  and  fastened   my  mule,  shot   a  rabbit   and 
roasted  one  hind  quarter  and  for  want  of  something  better  sea- 
soned it  with  ashes  and  ate  it  with  some  grapes  we  brought  with 
us  and  thus  made  our  dinner  and  supper  together.     Our  fire  was 


176 

made  of  a  very  few  little  weeds— there  being  no  wood  in  the 
vicinity,  so  that  we  could  not  have  a  fire  during  the  night  to 
scare  off  the  many  and  ravenous  wolves  which  abounded  there. 
Dear  wife  was  greatly  fatigued.  We  had  only  a  thin  lap  cover 
which  I  spread  on  the  ground  for  her  to  recline  upon  while  I  sat 
and  stood  alternately  in  the  buggy  and  kept  watch.  God  merci- 
fully protected  and  preserved  us.  The  next  morning  I  roasted 
and  we  ate  the  other  hind  quarter  of  our  rabbit,  seasoning  it  with 
ashes. 

"  I  then  found  that  the  stream  had  gone  down  two  feet  during 
the  night  leaving  only  five  feet  in  the  channel,  so  we  decided  to 
attempt  to  cross  it.  I  gave  my  mule  water  and  harnessed  up. 
I  let  the  buggy-top  down,  wife  sat  upon  the  top  of  the  seat  back 
and  her  feet  on  the  seat  itself.  I  stood  up  in  the  front.  My 
poor  mule  seemed  to  realize  our  danger  and  hesitated  to  enter  the 
fearfully  dangerous  stream.  I  encouraged  her  to  advance  and 
at  length  she  sprang  as  far  as  possible  into  the  water  and  in  an 
instant  was  out  of  sight  and  the  buggy  under  water  !  But  the 
momentum  she  obtained  enabled  her  to  soon  touch  the  bot- 
tom of  the  opposite  side  of  the  channel  (which  was  not  more 
than  twenty  feet  wide),  when  she  rose  to  the  surface  and  by  the 
most  faithful  effort  possible  she  pulled  us  out  and  up  on  the 
opposite  bank  !  We  exclaimed  '  God  be  praised  ! '  We  again 
breathed  freely. 

"  This  extraordinary  exertion  greatly  fatigued  our  mule,  who 
had  had  nothing  to  eat  since  we  left  home,  faring  even  worse 
than  ourselves.  Then  the  trail  was  full  of  deep  sand  and  cobble 
stones  so  that  we  were  compelled  to  go  very  slowly. 

"  About  noon  our  poor  mule  fairly  gave  out !  1  sought  a 
place  among  the  sand  hills  and  cedar  bushes  away  from  the  trail, 
hoping  thereby  we  might  possibly  escape  the  eager  eyes  of  any 
bloodthirsty  savages  who  might  be  passing.  So  while  I  was 
hastily  unharnessing  the  faithful,  tired  and  hungry  beast,  wife 
attempted  to  get  out  of  the  buggy  alone  and  seemingly  forget- 
ting her  experiences  and  discomforts  of  the  last  thirty-six  hours, 
fell  and  parted  all  the  ligaments  on  the  inside  of  her  right 
ankle ! ! !  Oh  !  Heaven,  what  was  to  be  done  out  on  this  desert  ? 
We  could  only  bathe  it  with  a  little  very  muddy  water  that  we 
had  brought  along  to  drink  and  bind  it  up  with  our  handker- 


177 

chiefs.  Well,  this  was  a  calamity  indeed.  But  we  must  not 
tarry  long  in  that  dangerous  place,  so,  after  an  hour  in  which 
the  mule  had  a  plenty  of  good,  nutritious  grass,  we  started  on  and 
late  in  the  night  reached  our  mission  station  at  Lazuna, 

"  After  two  days  we  returned  home,  dear  wife  suffering  greatly. 
I  summoned  several  of  the  army  physicians  and  surgeons,  but 
they  could  render  no  relief.  Crutches  were  provided,  which  she 
used  one 'year,  and  then  she,  in  company  with  Kev.  Mr,  Shaw 
and  family,  went  to  the  States,  intending  to  visit  the  great  med- 
ical college  of  Philadelphia.  She  had  a  pleasant  and  quick 
journey  to  Wisconsin,  where  her  only  sister,  Maria,  lived.  Her 
intention  was  to  make  a  visit  and  then  proceed  eastward.  Her 
old  family  physician  offered  his  services  and  did  what  he  could, 
but  gave  no  encouragement  of  a  cure.  Meantime  she  became 
so  debilitated  that  it  was  deemed  impracticable  for  her  to  go 
farther,  and  after  eight  months  the  Dr.  and  Bro.  Dudley  wrote 
to  me  to  come  at  once  ! 

"  The  letter  was  six  weeks  reaching  me,  but  I  instantly  com- 
menced preparations  for  leaving,  sitting  up  all  night  writing  her, 
Bro.  Dudley  and  the  Board,  for  it  was  extremely  doubtful  if  I 
lived  to  cross  the  plains  in  midwinter,  with  the  snow  covering 
the  whole  country  and  so  cold  that  buffaloes  by  thousands  froze 
to  death ! 

"I  turned  over  the  care  of  the  mission  to  Bro.  Gorman  and 
started  for  Santa  Fe\  Engaged  my  passage  in  the  mail  wagon, 
for  they  dared  not  and  would  not  run  a  coach.  Fare  was 
$150.00.  Arriving  at  St.  Louis,  after  suffering  almost  incredible 
hardships  and  being  badly  frost-bitten,  having  lain  out  in  the  snow, 
without  fire,  shelter  or  sufficient  covering,  twenty-four  fearfully 
cold  and  stormy  nights,  I  found  a  letter  from  my  wife,  and 
when  I  reached  her  she  was  able  to  sit  up  and  receive  her  friends. 
Oh,  what  relief ! 

"  After  a  few  days  we  started  for  Boston.  Dr.  Hewitt,  the  cel- 
ebrated bone-setter,  treated  her  ankle  three  months,  when  she 
was  enabled  to  walk  away  without  her  crutches.  Meantime^  her 
eyes  were  troubling  her,  and  she  was  treated  for  them  at  the 
State  Infirmary,  and  so  greatly  injured  that  for  four  years  she 
was  nearly  blind  and  most  of  the  time  was  confined  in  dark- 
(12)  " 


178 

ened  rooms.  Two  celebrated  oculists  and  some  of  the  best  phy- 
sicians in  New  York  attended  her  for  a  long  time  without  doing 
her  any  good.  Everything  that  money,  friends,  medical  skill 
and  the  best  possible  attention  could  do  was  constantly  done." 

They  went  to  E.  Virginia  to  try  the  effect  of  that  fine  climate. 
They  remained  there  four  years,  and  Mrs.  R.  so  far  recovered 
her  eight  as  to  be  able,  in  July,  1860,  to  engage  with  Mr.  R.  in 
protracted  meeting  in  Central  New  York  for  six  months. 

During  the  War  of  the  Rebellion  they  first  went  to  Washing- 
ton, and  were  engaged  in  furnishing  hospitals  with  necessary 
goods  for  the  Michigan,  Wisconsin  and  Massachusetts  soldiers. 
Mrs.  R.  was  storekeeper  for  theN.  Y.  State  Soldiers'  Relief  asso- 
ciation and  Mr.  R.  was  preaching  in  camps,  supplying  scriptures, 
tracts  and  papers  to  the  soldiers  in  camp  and  hospitals,  caring 
for  the  sick,  etc.,  etc. 

In  June,  1862,  Mr.  R.  started,  as  a  general  missionary  among 
the  soldiers,  for  Richmond,  but  stopped  at  Savage's  Station,  nine 
miles  from  Richmond,  at  a  large  hospital  under  charge  of  Dr. 
Swinburn  of  Albany. 

Hundreds  of  men  were  famishing  for  lack  of  food  and  drink, 
and  to  each  man  was  given  first  a  little  whiskey  toddy,  then  a 
little  cold  water,  and  then  some  nice  gruel.  This  was  continued 
several  days,  until  all  in  the  camp  were  taken  prisoners,  and 
most  of  those  able  to  walk  were  marched  to  Richmond  and  con- 
fined on  Belle  Island  or  in  the  famous  Libby  prison.  Mr.  R. 
was  allowed  to  remain  eleven  days,  when  Jeff  Davis  learning 
that  at  the  burial  of  our  deceased  soldiers  he  prayed  for  the 
Union  army,  he  ordered  him  to  be  confined  in  Libby  prison. 
He  was  allowed  to  stay  with  the  worst  sick,  wounded  and  dying. 
It  was  his  custom  to  preach  three  short  sermons  each  evening 
in  the  three  great  wards  of  the  prison. 

When  sick  with  typhoid  fever  he  was  ordered  to  the  court 
house,  under  guard,  where  he  was  subjected  to  a  searching  exam- 
ination by  a  poor  old,  drunken,  bloated  apostate,  Judge  Baxter, 
for  three  mortal  hours  !  At  the  conclusion  the  judge  intimated 
that  he  should  be  condemned  to  death.  A  few  days  after  a  rebel 
officer  was  sent  by  Jeff '  Davis  to  notify  him  that  he  was  con- 
demned to  be  hung.  The  charges  against  him  were,  that  he  was 


179 

a  Yankee,  a  Union  man ;  that  he  had  great  influence  with  Presi- 
dent Lincoln  and  his  cabinet;  that  he  was  an  Abolitionist;  had 
lived  in  Virginia;  was  not  a  commissioned  officer,  etc.,  etc. 

Mr.  E.  told  the  officer  to  convey  his  compliments  to  Jeff 
Davis  and  tell  him  that  he  had  not  hemp  enough  in  his  bogus 
Confederacy  to  hang  him. 

So  soon  as  it  was  known  in  Washington  that  he  was  con- 
demned to  be  hung,  Gen.  Burnside  was  sent  out  and  captured 
Dr.  Broadus  of  Fredericksburg,  Ya.,  who  was  confined  in  the 
old  Capitol  prison  in  Washington  and  kept  as  hostage  for  him. 
Word  was  sent  to  Eichmond,  and  his  life  was  spared.  He  con- 
tinued his  ministries  to  the  sufferers  in  Libby  prison  until,  in  the 
fall  of  1862,  he  was  exchanged  for  Dr.  Broadus  and  went  home 
feeble  and  too  nearly  broken  down  to  return  to  the  post  of  duty 
as  accounting  officer  in  the  Treasury  Department.  A  leave  of 
absence  was  granted,  and  still  he  was  unable  to  remain  there. 

Congress  had  recently  passed  the  bill  giving  a  territorial  gov- 
ernment to  Arizona.  The  President  appointed  the  officers,  not 
one  of  whom  had  any  personal  knowledge  of  the  country,  its 
people,  languages  or  customs,  and  as  he  was  thoroughly 
acquainted  with  that  region,  he  was  urged  to  go.  He  felt 
that  a  trip  across  the  plains  would  restore  his  health,  and  there- 
fore accepted  a  commission  as  postmaster  for  the  territory. 

Hon.  S.  P.  Chase,  Secretary,  and  F.  E.  Spinner,  TJ.  S.  Treas- 
urer, requested  him  to  take  out,  for  circulation,  $200,000.00  in 
paper,  postal  currency  and  small  bills.  This  amount  he  drew  at 
St.  Louis,  and  was  to  convey  it  to  Santa  F6",  N.  M.  After  a 
long  and  dangerous  trip  across  the  plains,  he  reached  Santa  F6* 
in  December,  almost  in  a  dying  condition  in  consequence  of 
watching  so  constantly  the  money,  day  and  night.  However, 
when  relieved  of  this  responsibility,  he  recovered,  and  in  two 
weeks  was  preaching  in  the  meeting  house  he  had  built  ten 
years  before. 

Mrs.  E.  remained  in  the  East,  and  if  he  remained  in  Arizona 
she  was  to  go  by  steamer  to  San  Francisco  and  he  would  meet 
her  there.  He  reached  Arizona  in  January,  1864.  Prescott 
was  the  site  selected  for  the  capital,  and  there  he  opened  the  P« 
O.,  chapel  and  Sunday  school. 


180 

In  August,  jnst  when  he  expected  a  letter  from  Mrs.  R.  that 
she  was  about  starting  for  San  Francisco,  he  received  the  sad, 
crushing  news  of  her  death  ! 

She  had  gone  to  New  Tork,  expecting  to  sail  June  12,  but 
was  taken  ill,  and  after  an  illness  of  only  three  days,  fell  asleep 
in  Jesus.  This  was  on  the  anniversary  of  his  ordination,  twenty 
years  before.  Her  remains  were  sent  to  Meridian,  N.  Y.,  where 
her  funeral  was  attended  the  next  day,  which  was  the  anniver- 
sary of  their  wedding.  Thus  she  was  buried  where  she  was  born 
and  married. 

Mr.  R.  could  not  at  once  leave  his  field  and  work  in  Arizona, 
but  left  Dec.  1,  arriving  in  New  York  in  January,  1865.  Went 
to  Meridian,  then  to  Hannibal,  Mo.,  where  he  remained  a  year. 

Since  then  he  has  married  Miss  Lizzie  S.  Sanderson,  and  has 
preached  in  Yirginia,  New  York,  California,  Nevada,  and  is 
now,  1890,  located  at  El  Paso,  Texas,  as  Bible  missionary.

Gen'l  Order  )  RECEIVER'S  OFFICE, 

No.  58.      J  LONG  ISLAND  CITY,  Sept.  15,  1879. 

The  attention  of  the  service  is  especially  called  to  the  gallant 
and  heroic  action  of  Fireman  Chas.  Jones,  of  engine  No.  25, 
train  5,  July  23. 

In  approaching  Jamesport  the  engineer  saw  a  child  on  the 
track,  blew  for  brakes  and  reversed  his  engine.  Fireman  Jones, 
who  was  on  the  front  of  the  engine  oiling  the  cylinders,  seeing 
that  it  would  be  impossible  to  stop  the  train  before  reaching  the 
child,  immediately  took  a  position  on  the  cow-fender  and  suc- 
ceeded in  grasping  it  Justin  time  to  lift  it  harmless  from  the  track, 
thereby  saving  its  life.  The  child  was  a  little  girl  about  three 
years  of  age,  the  daughter  of  Mr.  Samuel  Bartlett,  living  near 
Jamesport. 


188 

Too  much  praise  cannot  be  awarded  Mr.  Jones  for  his  action, 
and  appreciating  the  ability,  courage  and  good  judgment  dis- 
played on  this  and  other  occasions,  his  name  has  been  placed  by 
the  Master  of  Machinery  on  the  list  for  promotion  at  the  first 
favorable  opportunity.

of  apoplexy,  in  Rochester,  N.  Y.,  where  she  was  practising  her 
profession.  The  following  is  from  the  Rochester  Chronicle: 


214 

"It  is  not  fitting  that  a  noble  character  like  Dr.  Cynthia  Smith 
should  pass  from  earth  without  mention  of  her  worth.  Her  pro- 
fession, to  which  she  brought  the  ardent  love  of  an  enthusiast, 
with  the  tender  touch  and  skilful  hand  of  woman,  was  acquired 
under  difficulties  which  would  have  effectually  debarred  one  less 
earnest  from  the  advantages  of  a  higher  education.  This  sin- 
gleness of  purpose  and  patient  perseverance  was  carried  into  her 
life-work,  which  had  for  its  aim,  not  her  own  aggrandizement  nor 
even  pecuniary  profit,  but  the  good  of  mankind.  She  was  the 
inventor  of  an  admirable  surgical  appliance  which  lias  proved  of 
great  value  and  which  might  have  brought  to  her  fame  and  for- 
tune had  it  been  properly  placed  before  the  public.  The  writer 
knows  of  more  than  one  instance  where  the  lame  have  been  made 
to  walk  through  her  skill.  To  the  poor  she  not  only  gave  med- 
ical advice  but  freely  of  her  means  without  hope  of  other  reward 
than  comes  to  one  "  who  loves  his  fellow  men."  She  was  sin- 
gularly unworldly  and  unselfish,  with  artistic  tastes  and  mental 
endowments  which  fitted  her  to  enjoy,  in  the  highest  degree,  the 
grand  and  beautiful  in  nature.  She  denied  herself  all  luxury 
that  might  lure  her  from  her  purpose  to  do  what  she  could  for 
suffering  humanity  in  her  chosen  profession.  No  one  could  be 
in  her  presence  without  being  uplifted  from  sordid  aims  and 
realizing  that  she  indeed  lived  on  a  higher  plane,  for  her  faith  in  her 
Heavenly  Father  was  perfect  and  unquestioning  and  a  constant 
inspiration  to  her  friends.  The  aroma  of  this  pure  Christian 
life  will  linger  long  as  a  sweet  memory  of  her  who,  "  after  life's 
fitful  fever,"  rests  in  the  sleep  "  He  giveth  his  beloved."

Edward  King,  son  of  Lorinda,  gr.  son  of  Obadiah,  b.  Sept.  8, 
184-8,  in  Middlefield,  Mass. ;  was  privately  educated,  but  in  this 
manner  went  through  the  entire  course  of  study  in  vogue  at 
Williams  College.  When  only  seventeen  years  of  age  he 
entered  the  office  of  the  Springfield  (Mass.)  Union  as  a  compos- 
itor, becoming  almost  immediately  local  editor.  Samuel  Bowles, 
then  editor  of  the  Springfield  Republican,  noticed  his  work,  and 
being  impressed  with  his  ability,  sent  him  to  Europe  as  a  special 
correspondent.  This  was  in  1867,  and  on  his  return  he  became 
literary  editor  of  the  Republican.  In  the  following  year  he 
edited  the  Evening  News,  an  offshoot  of  the  Republican.  In 
1869  he  was  again  in  Europe  as  special  correspondent  of  the 
Boston  Journal,  and  in  that  capacity  followed  the  Franco-Prus- 
sian war  and  the  incidents  of  the  Paris  commune  in  1870.  Until 
1872  he  was  a  member  of  the  Journal  editorial  staff.  He  then 
traveled  through  the  South,  in  1873,  accompanied  by  an  artist, 
and  contributed  to  Scribner's  Monthly  a  series  of  illustrated 
articles  on  that  section,  entitled  "  The  Great  South."  During 
this  journey  he  traveled  25,000  miles,  of  which  1,200  was  on 
horseback.  Among  the  places  visited  was  New  Orleans,  and  by 
some  the  discovery  of  George  W.  Cable  was  considered  his 
greatest  achievement,  for  here  he  became  acquainted  with  Mr. 
Cable,  and  was  so  impressed  with  his  talents  that  he  took  it  upon 
himself  to  forward  some  of  Mr.  Cable's  manuscripts  to  Dr.  Hol- 
land, with  the  strongest  kind  of  recommendation.  In  this  way 
the  author  of  "  Old  Creole  Days  "  got  his  chance  at  the  public. 

In  1875  he  went  to  Europe  again,  and  from  Paris  corres- 
ponded with  American  papers.  In  1876  he  represented  the 


233 

Boston  Journal  at  the  Centennial  exhibition  in  Philadelphia, 
and  in  1 877,  being  again  in  Europe,  he  wrote  letters  for  the 
American  press  from  the  seat  of  war  in  Bulgaria. 

Mr.  King  has  made  an  enviable  reputation  by  his  poems, 
"  Echoes  from  the  Orient,"  and  "  A  Venetian  Lover,"  and  "  Paul 
Graine."  Among  other  works  in  book  form,  he  has  published, 
"  My  Paris  "  (1868),  "Kentucky's  Love,"  a  novel  (1872),  "The 
Great  South"  (1874),  French  Political  Leaders  (1876),  Europe 
in  Storm  and  Calm  (1885).  He  is  now  in  New  York,  connected 
with  "  The  Morning  Journal."
